I'd like to sign up for this GB with Trumpeter 1/144 F-86F-30 in one a bit unusual and exotic livery. Thanks in advance and greetings to all, Srđan (srkirad) welcome along and to Britmodeller. You've found the right place and a nice model with you as well, will be interesting to see what scheme you have planned. I'll add you to the list. Just in case you're not aware, we need 30 members to sign up for a build for it to be eligible to go to the next stage, which will be a vote next month to see which proposed GB's will be run next year. With you on the list we now just need 2 more. Fingers crossed we get the final 2 member to sign up. So keep an eye on the Group Build Chat thread for more information. again well to Britmodeller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srkirad Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks for the warm welcome trickyrich Themed builds are not new to me, as I already participated in various themes on our (serbian) modelling forum, but Britmodellers' groupbuilds are definitely more numerous and various, so it's an honour for me to join this international "competition". These builds are especially good for motivation and inspiration - my modelling mojo rises with these kinds of building kits, so I hope this one will gather enough members to go to next round, and in the end to go ahead as a 2020 GB. Once again, thanks for welcome, and keep in touch Cheers, S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Rich, however I'd never pay you to be my accountant! Let's hope this one gets up... my Mitchell box keeps falling into my lap, so it must be some sort of cryptic sign from the modelling gods! Cheers..

almac Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Evening all or actually morning now. Just noticed this topic and as I have more than a few Sabres and an Airfix Mitchell in the stash it would be rude not to join in if you don’t mind.

dnl42 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm am lucky to be able to hang out with some of the NAA retirees. One of their activities is to place marble benches commemorating NAA at various venues. Here is a bench they placed at the Palm Springs Air Museum 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 those benches look great. Would love to have a wonder around that hanger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hmm, there's a couple Airfix 72nd scale P-51 kits in the stash and a brace of F-86D from the same company keeping them company, dare say I could be tempted if this one goes through the vote. Although plans to convert one of the F-86D to a K might be beyond the GB timescale and my abilities... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 gosh i suggested this GB and I really haven't clue what to build if it goes through. The obvious thing would be to build a Mustang or Sabre or Super Sabre but I don't do obvious! I have a XF-107 but that's been save for a whiff. A Vigilante.......god lives too short to try building another one of those!! I'm sort of leaning towards a 1/32nd Bronco, Kitty Hawk does a rather nice one of those.... Vietnam era OV-10A? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Last year there was noise from Armory of a 1/144 XB-70, and I was completely thrilled. Sadly, they've already blown past 'could be available late Spring 2019 or summer' and we're well on the way to not. My current thinking is a 1/48 Mustang prototype, but a Sabre or Texan are also suitable for a GB. There is that spiffy new Academy 1/144 B-1, but...must...resist...stash...growth...

trickyrich Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 I though about it Dennis, but she doesn't really fit into what I'm building. Now the Bronco would go nicely with the A-1E and O-2A Skymaster (both 1/32nd), one of which I'll be building next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
